Little Love Shack

This house is TINY but it’s comfortable and fun. By tiny I mean it’s got a lot of 1950’s character squeezed into 690 square feet. The “official” dining table is outside on the patio so if you’re more than 2 people you should plan on spending quality time outside or out and about in Gainesville because the living space is limited. This is a GREAT rental for people who want to explore Gainesville, like being in the heart of 6th Street and prefer old school homes. No cable at this rental.

The exterior of Camellia Cottage is depicted at twilight, showcasing a charming white facade with traditional architecture. Warm light spills from the windows, contrasting with the darkening sky, while neatly trimmed hedges and a winding pathway provide a welcoming entrance.
